From parlour sing-songs to iplayers: Experiencing culture in the 20th and 21st century homes

自2002年以来，我在协调成功的学术研讨会和会议方面有更广泛的经验，组织了1次国际会议，4次国际研讨会和4次国际会议小组会议。所有这些活动都保持在预算范围内，有几个活动产生了备受好评的学术成果（例如，在利兹城市大学举行的为期3天的国际会议《妇女与工作文化》（Cowman和杰克逊编辑，阿什盖特，2005年）和《妇女历史评论》的一期特刊。2009年，我获得了欧洲科学基金会探索性研讨会资助（EW 08 -198），这是历史项目获得的首批此类赠款之一，旨在调查欧洲女权运动在运动中使用历史知识的方式，制作所需的科学报告，确定关键发现并指出进一步研究的重要领域。欧洲社会基金讲习班是一次性活动，类似于澳大利亚人权委员会的文化价值专家讲习班;尽管如此，从我的欧洲社会基金讲习班发展起来的网络成员继续在一些项目上合作，证明了这种探索性活动的持续效益。它的组织和科学报告得到了ESF的赞扬。我的专长是妇女历史。我发表了大量关于英国妇女和政治的文章，特别是关于妇女的政治文化。我的工作在媒体上广泛报道（例如，2013年9月，我在英国广播公司R4频道的安·麦克尔登的英国保守主义大巡回赛中讨论了女性政治文化对确保妇女参与的重要性）。最近，我一直在研究家居设计在新的投票女性中塑造政治身份的作用（见Cowman，“女性公民身份和战后英国性别化的国内内饰”提交给欧洲城市历史会议2012年，目前正在审查后邀请重新提交英国历史评论）。这导致参与新的合作项目，考虑到家庭中的各个场所-特别是起居室-及其与塑造性别身份的联系，这些项目正在进行中。(eg Cowman，contribution to 'The Heart of the Home' founded workshop，罗马，2013）.长期以来，家庭一直被认为是私人的、亲密的领域的一部分，并且经常被关注更广泛的公共活动的历史所忽视;最近的研究表明，它是许多文化和社会活动的形成和实践的关键场所，这些活动以前在这种背景下没有考虑到（见下一页）。

I have a wider range of experience of co-ordinating successful academic symposia and conferences having organised 1 international conference, 4 international symposia and 4 panel sessions at international conferences since 2002. All have kept to budget and several have resulted in well-regarded academic outputs (eg Women and Work Culture, a 3 day international conference at Leeds Metropolitan University that produced Women and Work Cultures (eds Cowman and Jackson, Ashgate, 2005) and a special issue of Women's History Review. In 2009 I was awarded a European Science Foundation Exploratory Workshop Grant (EW08-198) one of the first such grants to be secured for a historical project, to investigate ways in which European feminist movements have used historical knowledge in campaigns, producing the required scientific report that identified key findings and pointed to important areas for further research. ESF workshops are designed as one-off events, similar to the AHRC cultural values expert workshops; nonetheless members of the network that developed out of my ESF workshop continue to collaborate on a number of projects demonstrating the ongoing benefits of such exploratory events. Its organisation and the scientific report were commended by the ESF.My expertise lies in women's history. I have published widely on women and politics in Britain, especially on women's political cultures. My work has featured widely in the media (eg contributor to Ann McElvoy 'British Conservatism the Grand Tour' BBC R4 September 2013 where I discussed the importance of feminine political cultures to securing women's participation). More recently I have been looking at the role of home design in forging political identities amongst new voting women (see Cowman, 'Female Citizenship and the Gendered Domestic Interior in Post-WW1 Britain' presented to European Urban History Conference 2012, currently under review following invited resubmission to English Historical Review). This has led to participation in new collaborative projects considering individual sites within the home - notably the living room - and their connection to shaping gendered identities, which are ongoing. (eg Cowman, contribution to 'The Heart of the Home' funded workshop, Rome, 2013). The home has long been considered as part of the private, intimate sphere, and often overlooked by histories that are concerned with broader public activity; more recent work suggests that it is a critical site for both the formation and practice of a number of cultural and social activities previously unconsidered in this context (see next page).
